When cells within our bodies begin to exhibit tumor-specific antigens, a specialized group of immune cells, known as immune effector cells, plays a crucial role in mounting both innate and adaptive immune responses. Cancer cells are notorious for developing strategies to hide from, suppress, and manipulate the immune system, collectively known as immune evasion. In the paper by Kam et al.

Background: Many relationships between pathogens and human disease are well-established. However, only a small fraction involve diseases considered non-communicable (NCDs). In this study, we sought to leverage the vast amount of newly available electronic health record data to identify potentially novel pathogen-NCD associations and find additional evidence supporting known associations.

Trogocytosis - a process whereby cells physically nibble and ingest membrane fragments and other components from neighboring cells - plays a critical role in host-parasite interactions by modulating parasite survival and host immune responses. This review explores trogocytosis in parasitic infections, revealing its dual roles: parasites use it for nutrient acquisition and immune evasion, whereas hosts use it for pathogen clearance. We analyze the molecular machinery driving this process, its impact on infection outcomes, and parallels in tumors/transplantation.

Unlabelled: Despite explosive rise in allergies, little is known about early life gut microbiota effects on postnatal respiratory function. We hypothesized that -dominant gut microbiota from eczemic infants increases Type 2 inflammation and decreases lung function in transplanted mice, while -dominant gut microbiota from non-eczemic infants is protective. Fecal microbiota transplants (FMT) from eczemic infants "Infant A" and non-eczemic infants "Infant B" were successfully transplanted into germ-free C57BL/6 mice, passing to offspring unchanged.
